About Gold Shaw Farm: Gold Shaw Farm is more of a farm-in-progress than an honest-to-goodness farm. Our dream is that someday we are able to transform our 150+ acre parcel of land into a regenerative and productive homestead and farm.
You went on a wild goose chase and found the head goose. So happy for you.
Nice 👍
You've got strong stalking skills. Great Vid
My thought process:
2:16 "Oh he's doing the thing where you film yourself leaving. I should leave a comment joking 'Oh no, you forgot your camera!' Nah, that's too corny."
2:33 "The madman, he did it himself."
Dude the number of videos I've seen where people hiking leave their cameras behind for a cinematic shot and thought "man they've gotta walk all the way back to get that camera" it was downright therapeutic to see Morgan run back for it lmao
I love this man!
You are not on an adventure my man... You, sir, are on a GOOSE chase!
Man, I'm spanish and the only thing that I can say about your pronunciation is that it's great! I've never heard an american speaking so well my langauage. It doesn't matter if you don't have a lot of vocabulary, I understood everything you said. And of course: Nice video. I really love people getting interested about my country. I live in the north, where we have a more cold climate, but I like the landscape of Extremadura too. Good luck with the farm, man, I hope your dream come true! :)
Allison calling you ‘completely incompetent’ after the translation debacle while busting up & wheezing for air is why she’s now officially my spirit animal...😂😂😂What an amazing trip though!! Wow!
When i was in the 4th grade i never understood why i should learn english as a forgein language, because i had no real interest to visit England or the US. After a while i learned that English would be really usefull because many people speak English as a second language. So i started to pay attention in my english classes. Now, like 10 years later, my english is decent (well, not my spoken or written english ;) ). But the reason i learned English was the abilitly to just communicate with people from other countries. Anyway, last summer i was in Spain and i learned, that english is infact not spoken by everbody. It was a really interesting expierence, because i never really understood how hard it is to order something in a restauraunt when you on only know "Si". English is ofc still usefull, but not in the way imagined.
I dont reall know what i want to say with this story, but i really understand your struggle^^.
I always try to learn a bit of the language of any country I visit.
Even a minimal set makes communication a lot easier, as long as you get the pronunciation roughly right.
Your editing is getting better love the music and your stories.Your podcasts cheer me up I suffer from bpd but I never miss an episode lots of love from Scotland and say high to Toby dog for me
Toby says Hi back!
Dude! I am so impressed with your bravery! I am way too introverted to even try that in a place where English is spoken. High five!
7:26
"Have you been to the farm?"
"yes"
"You've been to the farm? Have you seen him?"
"yes"
Watching that part hurt a little, as I understood what he said.
Honestly same.
What did he say
@@trulyidkman They are saying that Morgan kept saying "yes" each time the man asked whether Morgan had seen or met Eduardo, even though Morgan was actually asking the man how to find Eduardo.
Ik right?
When that shop was closed, I felt that in my soul. That was like when Wally World was closed in National Lampoon.
So true!
Shame I only discovered your vlogs recently. I live very close to there. Well done you for persevering, you were very brave. The locals here can be a bit suspicious of strangers motives. He probably doesn't believe that you would come all the way from USA to see how he farms his geese. Little tip for your next trip. Always ask in the bar for whoever you need to find.. they always know everyone. 😁 And yes, improve your Spanish but don't beat yourself up, they speak a dialect here called Extremeña which is very difficult to follow. Very much enjoying your videos. 😀
I was hanging on the edge of my seat. You should be a documentary film maker, first, you need a translator.
The cacti and oaks remind me of southern California. Enjoyed the music. Half expected to see Clint Eastwood to appear in his signature hat and Pancho chomping on a cigar. Glad you found Eduardo after so much searching. Thanks for taking along.
I'm so glad you got to meet him at last, after all that searching! I hope you can continue to speak with him over email. It would be great to hear some of what he says. :)
I guess this was a 'WHERE IN THE WORLD IS WALDO" moment. Beautiful scenery though. Thanks for sharing this trip. Have a Blessed day.
I'm sooo happy you liked Spain, If you ever decide to come back, you should go the north, It's really pretty and you won't die from the heat! 😵😂
I am seeing this video a year and a half late, but I felt relieved myself for you to be able to finally meet him. I actually felt a little sad as you were walking away empty handed. Glad it worked out and that you got by the dog.
One of your best videos to date! Loved it and your humour! Well done sir! 🇨🇦
It's funny, people sometimes stalk UA-camrs and show up at their places and here's a UA-camr stalking a farmer and showing up at his farm 😄. Awesome you got to meet him and make all that work finding him worth it.
Flipping the script!
I'm so glad you finally got to meet him, what a fantastic story you have documented. Looks like you had a great visit.
What an amazing trip! You don't give up easily, and I am glad it worked out for you. Impressed that you and Allison kept from freaking out, and kept your sense of humor! You have a way of involving your viewers in the experience!!!
I'm Italian, and my first thought while you were searching for him it has been: "ask somebody" especially in small villages, and with a renowned person, just ask people. If they don't know how to reach them, chances are they know somebody who knows how to reach them :)
I understand you. I was in similar quests, even without the language barrier. Huge factory, I need to find an administration building. Every worker is absolutely sure where it is, but all of them show in different directions, and nobody actually was there... Turned out it was outside factory walls.
Hey you can't change the genes you were born with that gave you back hair, being a "crazy" dude from Vermont looking for a goose guy in Spain is something you can control. :)
Lol right. I didn’t even notice until he said something. I don’t actually think most people care about those things.
His back hair is probably the reason he can live in Vermont. I have virtually no body hair and hated the cold of Maine.
Nothing crazy about wanting to go to Spain. It's absolutely gorgeous there. My Colombian friend and I want to retire there. Her daughter was just naturalized there and goes to University in Barcelona. Don't get carried away by the wine!
Edit: Next time you need a translator, take me with you. I won't even charge you.
Never too late to learn a few languages. :)
What a huge big adventure. I made a similar adventure to N. Scotland in 1982 about spinning wool and spinning wheels. I'll never forget my host at the Bed And Breakfast before I went on the train to Belfast. "Remember, my dear Maggie, If your shot, you'll not be drown." I just got my first 3 ducks. We have a drake and 2 hens. Tomorrow we build their first outside pen. I have raised ducks before and I loved them. Thanks so much for being such a great duck/goose lover. I didn't have good luck with my geese in the past. They were very destructive and ate the side of my barn.
I'm having fun watching your progress. M
2:30 nice little joke about what it's like making these kind of vlogs. Like having to take a shot of yourself walking away from the camera but then having to go back to get it 😂
I love to see the pull away shots when people keep the part where you have to come back for the camera.
Thanks for the shot of Allison….reminder that you are not alone.
Fun video. You had me on the edge of my seat. I’m glad you got to meet Eduardo.
Well Morgan, if you get tired of farming you can always go into video production. Awesome job you do.
Errr Spanish opening times in rural places are more like approximations, more aspirational. Hey, stuff happens
Great video! We really liked the moon-walking red heifer at about 1:40.
I love that you caught that. Every once and awhile I’ll reverse a shot because it’s a pan and I wanted to start with the thing or person that the shot ends with. Busted this time!
So glad you got to meet him and see his farm! It was lovely and the pigs were amazing.
Ay caramba! Encontrastes a Eduardo. Glad you were able to find him and speak to him for a bit. Thanks for everything you show us on your vlogs.
Beautiful video.Brings up old memories of a spring break and touring Spain while studying medicine in southern France.
Thank you very much.
Nate
Soooo good to have your videos back! They bring me a lot of joy. And having lived in Spain this video is especially touching for me :) welcome back!
Nice use of the cover from "The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly" for your "Walking the spanish countryside" background music.
What an adventure! You're braver than me! And I loved the Parks and Rec clips 😂
The language in Spain takes some getting your head around as the farmers normal speak a different kind of Spanish its more of a slang your are definitely seeing some great parts of Spain tho
@Kevin Pereira I speak Brazilian Portugese and it is sounds similar to what I'm used to having heard living in the Brazilian countryside for awhile. The expressions he was using were all identical to what someone in Brazil might say in the same situation.
@Samuel Sandoval What is castillano? And what is the Difference between Spain Spanish to castilliano?
Slang? Facepalm.
@@georgegordonbrown9522 Castellano is either European Spanish, or a way to differentiate actual Spanish from the other regional languages that are also spoken in Spain. They don't have such a thing in Extremadura though, just your typical southern pronunciation. And the smaller the village, of course, the thicker the accent. I could tell you none of these are city folk from the moment they opened their mouths.
As for slang, if it can be called that, the obvious example is how they kept calling the pigs "guarros" instead of "cerdos". Small towns are full of weird, colorful words that pop out unexpectedly and would definitely confuse any foreigner no matter how good his Spanish might be.
i may be wrong but there was a sign "perro peligroso" (dangerous dog) on the metal gate :) Too bad you couldn't use google translate app on the phone, there is a "instant translation" feature which is quite neat! I've used it last week from italian or english to vietnamese and viceversa, it's not 100% accurate but it works!
That's not what it says
@@coldbloodedcasey1508 That is what it says
I miss Spain so much watching this, Hecho de menos a Espana al ver esto
Morgan, this is EXACTLY the type of adventure I would have gone on. I love meeting the people I read or hear about and most (so far ALL) have enjoyed the experience too. (Of course I'm not actually stalking or intruding on people's privacy, just seeking out those infamous in their field, such as duck breeding.)
Even with the language barrier you still gained a wealth of knowledge, and to me that's the whole reason for the trek. Even better sometimes is the memory of the trek. So glad you didn't stop looking for him and all worked. Now you have that life-long connection with a duck breeder half-way around the world. Kudos.
I absolutely LOVE the fact that you made fun of the "drive away" B-Roll that everyone does.
I really wanted to see the part where he goes back and tells his wife about his adventure to fine the Spanish Goose man.
Doesn't seem like stalking behavior at all...
What a fun adventure! I have endless respect for your thirst for knowledge. It is a real treat to be able to share in your quest. Thank you for that. Long live the Quacken!
You guys, have both beautiful green eyes, that is very special, not only that you have special genes, but also are soul related
What an adventure! So educational! Couldn’t stop watching at 4:00 am
So glad you met Mr Ed
Ok man, you’re crazy, but take solace in the fact that we all are. Some people go nuts over the most damaging of things, you’re searching for practicality in self sustainable goose farming. No biggie, it’s admirable actually.
I'm so happy for you that you got to meet him, that's so awesome!
Morgan - I see what you did here (14:55) with the music. Very cool tie-in with the location. Were you the Good, the Bad, or the Ugly? ;-)
You showed up at the start of the pandemic. Was that why the shop was closed? This reminds me of how many times I got it in my head to go see something or someone and never met my goal (pre-cell phone days.) So glad you found your guy. Pro tip: hire a translator next time. Lots of english speakers in Europe.
I enjoyed watching your struggle.
I have spent some time where I didn't do as well as you did with the local language.
FANTASTIC!! What a beautiful place! First phrase our Spanish teacher taught us to use when talking with people was "Mas despacio, por favor." 🤣 She spoke fast and we just had to keep up! Lol!
Your persistence paid off, Morgan!! Sounds like it was an amazing adventure :)
Passionate and determined couple,
Mission accompanied.
Hi....... Gold Shaw Farm, thank you for sharing your video homestead 👋 bye 👋 bye 👋 bye 👋 🎥👍👍👍
This just makes me want to go to España even more. 😍
Castilian Spanish is very hard and Im proud of your effort thanks for another great video
I admire your attempts to speak another language. That being said, please learn to pronounce Eduardo's last name correctly? It is not "Suu-sah" like the marching band conductor. It is "Soh-sah" with just a hint of an "u" between the 'O" and the second "S". Your experiences with not being able to find somebody where they are supposed to be or when they are supposed to be there was a very familiar experience for me in Spain when I was there as a college student for 1 semester in 1972. Antonio's spoken Spanish was not standard textbook language, so I doubt your phone translator would have worked very well. You commented on the scenery--Extramadura, name of the region, means "extremely hard." Nearly all the conquistadors and explorers came from that area because there wasn't any future in farming there. I'm looking forward to your future adventures!
You lowkey stalked that man, you crazy crazy bastard. Now THAT'S dedication!
Lowkey? I would say it was hardcore.
**WOW!! YOU'RE VERY PERSISTENT, MY FRIEND!!
Oh, when you bit down on that churro........ I lived in Spain from `68 to `72!!!! Now the best churro is 300 plus miles away in the Miami area.
Omgoodness, I love this video. The countryside is so beautiful. Morgan thank you so much for taking us along in your journey. You sir are incredible. I felt like I was on a mini vacation with you both. Thank you again. More please b4 you leave Europe.
Estremadura is such a beautiful region.
Desperately seeking Susan country style and you guys have a nice little trip together to boot.
As a Spanish speaker my heart hurt from wanting to help. But you did great and hopefully you could start a friendship that will result in a future more in depth visit.
Spaniards do live in the pueblos and travel to their land to farm. They are very social and that way families and friends have a more communal life which I think can be emotionally and mentally more healthy.
Hi, I been falou you, for a long time, and I found out, you went to Spain,....to get some Info about the Gisse.....I leave in Spain 12 Years....and I coud be help full......but..is way to late, I have many frinds...but most of the people dosent speke Inglish, i. Spain Italy or France,...they dont care.
I am looking foward to buy a Farm...but I need to find where..in the States....
Extremadura is beautiful..and well named because the quality of the Pork...reased with bellota from the trees.....and the land is beautifull ....
Jamond Pata Negra,...is good.....I hope you gays tasted ......
Good luck with your Gisses....and Farm live...
Gustavo Montero
Thank you for the message and I’ll let you know if I return!
Waiting for this day where you upload for the first time in a while.
I'm back. New videos coming every Monday and Thursday.
@@GoldShawFarm glad to hear that mr gold !
For the record, try to find a teen/young adult to ask things, they’ll probably talk basic english at least
You & Allison are such an adorable couple, she's very special, has a unique style. That guy (who looks a lot like Antonio Banderas too!)who you were trying to communicate with had such beautiful buildings & all those antiques were really awesome, his bar is classy!! Spain is thrilling! Can you imagine implementing the look of that swine farm on your homestead ?!
stonework pattern would look great on your Homestead, isn't it stunning with the wood around the stonework?!

Glad you finally met up wiith him. I used to live south of there, on the coast. Sure missed it after moving away. Brings back memories. The goat herders would walk past my home each day with their goats to graze on the dunes, or with their mule and carts (singing "mulo"). 😊
I'm just impressed you didn't try talking louder to be understood.
Beautiful countryside, so glad you eventually got to speak with him. Really enjoying watching your Spanish adventures.
Man I'm glad you didnt get the coronavirus while you were there
What a wonderful trip for you both
Be safe
Wow, that was a case of persistence pays off! Good for you! I'm hoping you can ask more questions via email! Nice job!
Wow, Morgan! I’m so excited for you to get to meet him! This is exactly the type of thing I would do, and have done many times. I scare my poor husband to death sometimes. Kudos for your perseverance, it paid off big time! This was really enjoyable to watch.
If you ever go back, give me a call. I will translate over the phone!
Funny thing about this, I landed in Spain exactly 2 days after you posted this. It goes without saying, it was a terrible time to start a vacation (not really a vacation, it was mostly ruined and cut short).
My favorite part about this is that you walked on a road that was clearly intended for driving.
You should come to Andalucia and try the jabugo ham, it also seems that you have more subscribers from Spain than anyone would think a geese farmer from the United States would have.
Greetings from the south of Cadiz ;)
However be forewarned that the Spanish accent in Andalucia is the hardest to understand in all Spain. What is it about Southerners in many countries ;-)
What a journey! Thank you for taking us along!
Love your videos!!, I'm originally from Spain and I'm so happy you visited it. Did you enjoy it ? Did you like the food ? Your content, editing and bit of nerdiness mixed-in is amazing ! keep it up !
Morgan, next time you need anything from Spain make a shot out, there will be multiple of Spaniards such as myself happy to help you! Hope you had a great time in beautiful Extremadura!
Such a cool adventure !
About the houses in the farmland, it is illegal to build in the soil qualified as farm soil in *most* of Spain, with some exceptions. You can have buildings to store farm tools, tractors and such in there, but building an actual house is a no-no. In most places they will fine you and demolish it.
You do so will at story telling enjoy your channel 🙏👌👍thanks
blessings that you found him.
Haha, i almost expected you to say 'I'M YOUR BIGGEST FAN~!"
Hopefully google translate as improved. It used to be infamous for messing up a perfectly simple message between one language and another.
Glad you got to meet your mentor-to-be. 😉
YOU PROVED THAT YOU HAVE A LOT OF PATIENCE WITH PEOPLE, YOU ALSO FOUND THE MAN YOU WERE LOOKING FOR, I AM PLEASED YOU FOUND THE FARMER.
Don't feel bad about your Spanish, My dad ordered 4 single coffins and a king size coffin and he needed them by tomorrow for my family when we moved to Brazil. The furniture guys were cracking up the *whole time* they were delivering our furniture :) My Dad had swapped the words colchões with caixões, which are mattress and coffin respectively.
Wow, what a trip! I wonder if you ever did connect with him on email.
I love the way you edit videos. Between your personality and the way you edit, it always keeps me coming back and excited for more videos! I may have no interest in ever farming, but I love watching your journey. :3
Lesson, something so important, hire an interpreter.
This is fate and a Very nice documentary of your journey and what you learned from it!
